Description
Product Overview
SeamlessBio rHSA Economy Grade is a cost-effective, animal-free recombinant human serum albumin expressed in genetically modified rice endosperm (Oryza sativa). Purified by single-step chromatography to 90–99% purity with endotoxin <5 EU/mg — the practical choice for IVD blocking reagents, diagnostic reference materials, cosmetic formulations, and method development where budget and throughput matter more than ultra-low endotoxin.
Fully TSE/BSE-free, no animal raw materials used at any stage. Available as lyophilised powder in pack sizes from 10 g to 500 g, delivered from EU stock. For applications requiring ≥99% purity and ultra-low endotoxin (<0.125 EU/mg), see the rHSA Premium Grade. Explore the full Human Sera & Albumin Portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rHSA Economy Grade and rHSA Premium Grade?
rHSA Economy Grade is purified by single-step chromatography to 90–99% purity with endotoxin <5 EU/mg — optimised for cost-sensitive applications such as IVD blocking, diagnostic matrix proteins, and cosmetic formulations. rHSA Premium Grade achieves ≥99% purity and ultra-low endotoxin (<0.125 EU/mg) through multi-step chromatography, making it suitable for cell culture, ATMP manufacturing, and stringent IVD applications. If your process specifies endotoxin below 1 EU/mg or purity ≥99%, upgrade to the Premium Grade.
Is rHSA Economy Grade suitable for use in ELISA kits and lateral flow assay manufacturing?
Yes — rHSA Economy Grade is well suited for IVD reagent manufacturing where endotoxin ≤5 EU/mg is acceptable. It functions as a blocking agent, carrier protein, and diluent matrix in ELISA kits, lateral flow strips, and immunoturbidimetric reagents. For lateral flow assay conjugate pads and membranes where tighter endotoxin control is required, we recommend evaluating the rHSA Premium Grade.
Why choose rice-expressed rHSA over plasma-derived HSA for IVD and cosmetic applications?
Rice-expressed rHSA (Oryza sativa endosperm system) is 100% animal-free and TSE/BSE-free, eliminating the pathogen transmission risks and lot-to-lot variability associated with plasma-derived Human Serum Albumin (HSA). For IVD manufacturers, this simplifies regulatory documentation. For cosmetics, it supports cruelty-free and vegan labelling claims. The protein is structurally identical to native HSA — same amino acid sequence, same functional properties.
What pack sizes are available and is batch reservation possible?
rHSA Economy Grade is available as lyophilised powder in 10 g, 100 g, and 500 g pack sizes. Batch reservation is available for up to 36 months — contact our team with your required volume and project timeline to hold a validated lot across your production programme. Custom quantities may be available on request.
What documentation is supplied with rHSA Economy Grade?
Every order is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with lot-specific test results. Additional documentation — including BSE/TSE statements, Certificate of Origin (CoO), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and sterility certificates — is available on request. Products are manufactured at ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified partner facilities.
